In 36 years, Hillary and I have shared a lot of birthdays, and each year I’m amazed at everything she has accomplished. This is a very special year: we’re celebrating Hillary’s 60th, and I hope you’ll join me in sending her a birthday message, sharing your wishes for her and your hopes for the coming year.

I’ll make sure to share your message with Hillary. And please encourage your friends and family to send their messages as well.

I know how happy Hillary will be to hear from you on her birthday. Thank you for helping me to make her day special.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

Who knew that birthdays were just another way of saying, “I love when you make a political contribution!”

And even though Bill says Hillary would like to hear from me, it’s obviously my wallet she’s more interested in. Maybe somehow Bill found out that Hillary and I are both October birthday girls, or that my stepdaughter’s birthday is the same as hers and that I would have a soft spot for that.

Hey, any port in an election cycle, right?

Well, Happy Belated Birthday, Hillary. Here’s hoping that this greeting will suffice rather than the more “official” one you requested!
